A SENSATIONAL DISCOVERY.
Ten Bodies in Medical Colleges nisSecting
Rooms Identified

DOOlilS lutHlIllct.
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 31.-On Wednesday
John Hardeman, well-to-do colored man
of Cobb county, came to this city in
search of the body of his son Charles,
which had been stolen from Smyrna grave
yard the day before. He was given police
escort to examine the vats of the three
medical colleges here. He was uuSuc-
cessful in his search, but a greater sensa-
tion lay behind. There was found in one
college seven bodies, in another four,
and in the third the half of one body.
Cut of the twelve bodies thus exposed
to his view there were only two whom
he did not know in life. One body was
that of married lady, who was buried
within the last month with great pomp.
Another was that of person whom the
officer had seen in perfect health but the
week before, and of whose death he had
not heard. Several were of persons gen
orally known in the city. An effort is
being made to keep the disclosures
secret, rs a general knowledge of them
would arouse popular indignation.
